Dwarf Bearded 
Iris pumila 
This class of Iris are small but thrifty 
growers with the flower stems seldom ex- 
ceeding 12 inches in height. They are the 
first to bloom in the spring, and therefore 
are useful in lengthening the Iris season 
in the garden. They are lovely as cut flow- 
ers, for table decorations and flower ar- 
rangements, in the rock garden, and as 
border or bedding in front of the taller 
growing varieties. All varieties uniformly 
priced 25c each, 3 for 50c, $2.00 doz.

Evansia 
Crested Iris 
Evansia section includes some of the 
choicest and most orchid-like flowers to be 
found anywhere. It is the only group that 
is adapted for culture in the shade, and 
includes some of the smallest and the tall- 
est members of the genus. They should be 
planted where the ground can be kept 
moist on the surface at all times, and will 
thrive if a mulch of leafmould is kept on 
the surface. Tectorum and Milesii will 
stand considerable more sun than the other 
members of the group. Delivery through- 
out the year.

foliage and compact growth. 24 inches. 75c.

uniform shade of lavender on 2-foot stems.

the stout and well branched stem. Blooms 
February-April. 24 inches. 50c.
